The Climate Centre is scaling up its support to the Red Cross / Red Crescent Movement through advanced students who link their academic requirements with humanitarian needs.  

Interested in the Young Scholars for Humanitarian Work Programme?

We have ongoing arrangements for internships and temporary consultancy contracts with a few international institutions, leading to a more sustainable and well-supported system to accommodate interns and consultants. If you are affiliated with one of the below mentioned universities, we would be keen to explore a collaboration with your academic institution if a faculty member is willing and able to supervise you, and contacts us with preliminary ideas on how to link your academic requirements with our humanitarian needs. In that case you can apply for a password to participate in the survey. Universities the Climate Centre has arrangements with are Boston University, Brandeis University, Columbia University, Harvard University, Institute of Development Studies (Sussex) King's College London, University of Manchester, MIT, Parsons School of Design, University College London, Oxford and Cambridge, University of Colorado at Boulder, University of Maryland, New York University, University of Miami, University of Cape Town, University of Iceland, Wageningen University, and Yale.

Please request a password at  climatecentre@climatecentre.org to fill in a survey  so we can find out more about you, your interests and skills, and why you would like to work with the RC.
